When an owner ‘zests’ oranges for his private party, and I find this in a take-out bag while doing inventory four days later

When life gives you oranges, you…well, y’know. [gestures broadly]

should he really own a restaurant if he does that?

Sounds like your not happy at your job. If the dope wants to waste his own money what can you do?

Dang. Those orange wedges next to your breakfast are going to look like shit.
Juice them. What else you use oranges for?

They aren’t even zested properly… But anyways, if he does it a lot, make a dessert with orange juice I guess

I can’t tell which is worse; the fact that he could have got that much zest from one orange, or that he was too inept to successfully steal from his own operation.

Do the best you can they’ve been abused. Give the most hungover one who shows up that day fresh orange juice with a bit of soda water and it’ll make their year

Oh no the owner of your place of employment wasted 5 oranges. He definitely doesn’t deserve to have you working for him. Good thing you posted it here.

What’s with the people in this comment section getting *very* weirdly defensive?

That’s like one, maybe two, oranges of zest. What a waste.

I used to zest entire grapefruits to make grapefruit simple syrup for the bartenders, there wasn’t a spot of rind left and my hand hurt like hell… also the grapefruits felt weird as hell to hold. The bartenders would always make us scurvy soda with them though: juiced lime, grapefruit, plus whatever extra fruits we had with simple soda and some lemonade.
Edit: because I forgot to mention if you throw in Redbull, your kitchen staff will love you. Bitters if they’re hungover. If you work at a place where rules aren’t strictly enforced, a little hair of the dog or a shot of fernet if someone is exceptionally hungover.

He zested, just not very well.
Just keep them out of the kitchen; you’ll be fine.
